Comment Policy

Please remember when leaving a comment on my blog that all comments are subject to the blog owners discretion. I do believe in freedom of speech, however, that right is not absolute. Here are the rules:
1 - Please remember the victim(s) first and foremost. Do not come here to comment only on the offender(s). My blog focuses on the victim(s). Do not glorify the killer(s). No negative comments about the victim. NO VICTIM BLAMING.
2 - I will not tolerate hate filled speech, vulgar or derogatory remarks about a victim. I will remove comments that go against this. I will not remove comments just because they do not match my beliefs, in fact, I welcome them! However, that being said, I will remove those that I find offensive, argumentative just for the sake of starting an argument that does not add to the post, hate-filled speech, etc.
3-No comments in ALL CAPS, or CoMeNtS. They are rude and difficult to read. I have had many complaints about it so no more.
4-Comments must be in English only and easy to read (meaning no text language, shortening words, etc.). Have respect for those who don't do text messaging or other lingo.
5 - ALL COMMENTS LEFT BY COMMENTORS ARE THEIR OWN AND THEIR OPINIONS. THEY DO NOT CONSTITUTE FACTS. NOR IS THE BLOG OWNER RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYONE'S OPINIONS OR FEELINGS. STATEMENTS MADE AS COMMENTS ARE OPINIONS, GIVEN FREELY BY THE COMMENTORS.
If you have a question or problem with this, please feel free to email me (there is a link to my email above).

There are many reasons to make plea deals. Sometimes the family wants it so they can get on with their lives. Also, do you know how much trials cost? Especially murder trials? They are not cheap. With the economy the way it is right now, many Counties have laid off court workers, police, etc. It is hard to cover these costs, unfortunately. In many cases, there is not a lot of evidence, so it makes sense to do a plea bargain, as you don’t know what a jury will do. Look at the Brenda Schaefer case. Right person, but was exonerated. He later admitted he killed her.

In watching the video of Stacy Fairchild, I can see why this family decided to not take the plea deal. Frankly, I don’t blame them for doing so in this matter. They made it very clear that having a circus at the expense of their daughters memory was not a cost they wanted to bear.These are quiet hardworking Americans who if you look closely at their body language were absolutely mortified by the loss of their daughter.
Their eyes looked tired and their hearts were clearly broken by this terrible loss. Stacy’s brother even stated that since her death the family was not the same. Why go further when you have been this far and dealt with the loss in such a heartfelt manner.
Mr. Dysart is obviously a very hardened criminal who as Mr. Fairchild said had no humanity she was nothing to him and his actions proved it. I am sure he lied to them as he did to the police, however, The Fairchild’s have wisdom to them to know that a higher authority knows and will not take a plea deal.

they found the scumbags D N A. inside the poor girl to the person who thinks they didn’t have enough evidence so they made a deal. just what would the district attorney on your planet do? would they force the poor grieving parents to view the sick awful crime scene photo’s and relive the horrible last moments of their daughters last moments on earth I have been to prison and I thank God every day we have prisons just for sickos just like this. however I’m sure they have Unicorns and pots of gold at the end of every rainbow. john from planet earth.
